Re: What Video game did you last play?

Next X-Box reveal today, not sure how much software they'll show, but it should be interesting anyway. Can either watch it online from a multitude of places, or Spike TV has it, 10 am pst.

The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

Re: What Video game did you last play?

Yeah, I'm very curious to see what they've come up with. Going back, I owned a PSX, a PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360 is my currently console of choice, but I never did buy a PS3. PS4 sounded pretty nice, so I'm open to switching depending on how I feel about today's announcement.

Re: What Video game did you last play?

Xbox One it is . . . did anyone see that name coming? Struck me as odd, but they're clearly going for an "all in one" media device, so I get it.

I wonder if you have to have Xfinity to get in on the TV integration? I highly doubt I can be a part of it given that I use Metronet (an Indiana-only fiber optic TV provider), which sucks but I'm not surprised.

The console looks a lot bigger/blockier than I was expecting, but I think they had to go that route to give it that much power but still be quiet. I'm glad they didn't screw much with the controller. I believe it will have a game DVD built in, which is nice, but I'm not clear yet if you can live-share your gaming experience with friends like the PS4 can. Sounds like they have the hardware in place to do it, though.

I'm still watching. I'm intrigued.

Going from 512MB of RAM to 8GB is a big deal for developers. Xbox Live going from 15,000 servers to 300,000 (not a typo) servers sounds like a big deal, too.

I never got a kinect, but I've seen others use it. I like how quick its response time to voice commands appears to be now, and with the hardware of the One the system can give you a snap-quick response, too.

Re: What Video game did you last play?

I read that there will be 500 GBs of harddrive space, it will not be backward compatible, and that the rumor about it always having to be online is not true. Reading about how it will handle used games is not very good. I understand they want people to buy the games new, but I just do not have the money to buy all of the games brand new.

The entertainment integration looks really interesting, but will it just work with Comcast or will it work with AT&T and DirectTV? It would suck if it is just Xfinity because then one of the biggest draws of the system would be useless to me.

I really hate that it is not backward compatible because given the size of that thing I may not have much room to have a 360 and a X1 sitting around.

Re: What Video game did you last play?

Only game I saw that I want is Watch Dogs and thats going to be its best on the PC.

Looks like I'm staying right where I am (PC first, PS3 for the 1 console exclusive I buy a year).

Re: What Video game did you last play?

Definitely going to get one at some point. I just don't see how the Premium package will be any less than $500 and hell it may be more. (I'm assuming they will have a Premium package and a standard one which is a tad bit cheaper, but no one has announced prices yet)

Call of Duty: Ghosts is looking pretty sweet also. I love how the 360 has evolved and it's really the only system I play. We have a WiiU downstairs, but Nintendo might have really screwed themselves with the specs of that thing. (5 year old technology) Plus the fact that since the tech is dated EA has abandoned WiiU. A system that can't support such big titles as Madden and Fifa is just sad.

I'm an Xbox guy but by no means a "fanboy" in a perfect world I'd like to grab a PS4 as well.

Re: What Video game did you last play?

The one thing that kind of bothers me is the lack of clarity on used/borrowed games. This idea that you will have to pay a fee for used games/borrowed games is going to kill the used game market. I love videogames, but I have grown up and have more important things to spend my money on so I cannot buy every awesome game day one at full price. Also, if my friend brings his game over to play with me what will it do when I am signed in under my gamertag and want to play? If it stops people bringing games over and playing that is messed up.

EA just dumped their online pass program that was making people who bought used games pay for online access.... I wouldn't be shocked to see that begin to happen elsewhere too.

That being said, welcome to what us PC gamers have to deal with!

Re: What Video game did you last play?

Started playing Dragon Age: Origins and Borderlands 2 this week. Will hopefully get to Dragon Age II before too long.

I've been thinking about replaying Dragon Age: Origins - there are still a couple of origin stories I haven't played. I still love that game. Hope DAIII lives up to the promise of the series, because DAII fell a bit short. And I still miss my Warden.

Re: What Video game did you last play?

I saw Sony said they are not pushing the DRM, but leaving it up to the publisher. I really do not see publishers passing on it for the PS4 and enjoying it on the X1. To me this is just Sony saying hey do not look at us when you are mad about both systems using DRM. We left it up the publishers and they decided to do it.

Re: What Video game did you last play?

I feel like, if you don't play Bioshock Infinite, you're just missing out. Admittedly, I'm a big BioShock fan, and the twist was even a bit heady for me (I had to read a lot of FAQs to figure it all out). But it's a beautiful, immersive experience. One of those games where I can spend just as long just looking & listening as I can actually engaging in combat and story quests.

I'll wait for the Game of the Year edition so I it'll include all the DLC. Same with ACIII.

Re: What Video game did you last play?

I never really got into Bioshock I-II. I have SO many games on my steam/origins accounts unbeaten (Dragon Age II, GTAIV, Both batman arkham games), plus my friend and I just strated the Free to Play version of The Old Republic. If I like it a lot, I may spend enough money to get "preferred" status, we'll see.

Re: What Video game did you last play?

Is Steam worth it? How does everyone play their games when they buy on steam? Keyboard or controller? I like controllers cause they are much easier to me. I never really cared for keyboard. Too many keys/buttons for my taste.

I see some of the prices for games on Steam and they are awfully tempting.
